README images do not show up on repo main page

Question

I am trying to include images in my readme using the command

But the contents of the image do not show up on the repo main page:

The image does show up if I click on the README file, however:

My images will show up on the main page if use this in the markdown file instead:

![][./images/test.jpg]

But the images appear extremely large. The only successful way I've found to reduce the image size is with the html command above.

Any solutions to either make the image appear on the main page or reduce the size of an image using the markdown-style command?

The solution to this issue was to put in paragraph tag. for example:

I'm also having this issue and it's been 11 months since the OP with no response from anyone about this bug. In my tests, even the markdown method required the images to be in the root folder. I am thankful the OP found a method that works to at least bring the image from a subfolder.

When I used the same syntax I thought it only worked for images in the root folder. After testing again, this method also works from a subfolder.

![Alt text for image](./image-folder/file-name.ext)

Also as the OP noted, this loads the images at their actual sizes.
